The second of three programmes with Leonard Maguire as The Rev Andrew Clark James Munson recently discovered in the Bodleian Library at Oxford the 92 volumes of the Great War diary of the Rector of the parish of Great Leighs in Essex. They total more than three million words, and they include letters, pamphlets, posters and other documents. Through them it can be learnt how the war affected this small village community which was a microcosm of Britain itself- the recruiting drives, the food shortages and the casualties on the battlefields of France.
